Flight Path Marker
The green flight path marker (FPM) or velocity vector shows where the aircraft is
actually moving. Think of it as a visual representation of GPS Track. The green target
will only be centered under steady state flight conditions with no wind. Usually the target
will be moving around the display showing where the airplane is going, not where the
nose is pointed. If there is a strong cross wind from the left the FPM will move to the
right. If the FPM is kept on the horizon line, the aircraft will maintain level flight, even
during steep turns. The FPM requires a valid GPS signal be present and Synthetic
Vision enabled. The FPM will be red if there is no GPS signal or there is not enough
room on the screen to show the FPM deviation.
The FPM can be turned ON/OFF by pressing
[EFIS] -> [TARGET]
EFIS Bugs (Airspeed, Altitude, Minimum Alt, Heading)
Altitude Bug
The Altitude Bug can be turned on and off from the
[SET] -> [EFIS] -> [ALT BUG]
menu. If the
Altitude Bug is on and the text over the knob is
ALT
the knob will set the desired altitude bug
location. If the text is not
ALT
, should press the knob button until it appears. Holding the knob down
for two seconds will sync the altitude bug to the current altitude. The box on the top of the altitude
tape shows the current bug location and will have a black background when selected.
Altitude Alerting
The Altitude Alerting function provides visual and
voice “ALTITUDE” alerts when approaching the Altitude
Bug.
•
Upon passing through 1000 feet of the Selected Altitude, the Altitude Bug changes from White to Yellow
•
When the aircraft passes within 200 ft of the Selected Altitude, the Altitude Bug changes from Yellow to
Cyan
, and the voice alert “ALTITUDE” is generated.
•
After reaching the Selected Altitude the pilot flies outside of the deviation band (±200 feet of the Altitude
Bug), the Altitude Bug changes from Cyan
to Yellow, and the voice alert “ALTITUDE” is generated.
Altitude > 1000’ of Bug
1000’ > Altitude > 200’ of Bug
Altitude < 2
00’ of Bug
Minimum Descent Altitude/Decision Height Bug
A barometric Minimum Descent Altitude Bug (MDA, or Decision Height, DH) is displayed whenever the
altitude bug is turned on. The MINS bug can be changed by pressing
[SET] -> [MINS]
. Holding the knob
down for two seconds will sync the bug to the current altitude. The second box on the top of the altitude tape
shows the current bug location and will have a black background when selected.
